The purpose of this study was to characterize mathematics departments that graduate a relatively large percentage of women doctorates. Through a collective case study of six graduate departments, and an in-depth case study of one department, the researcher highlights six characteristics of these mathematics departments and their descriptive…

A Mathematics Colloquium program for broadening the mathematics education of graduate students is described. In the program, pre-colloquium lectures are given to provide enough background material to make the general ideas of the colloquium lecture understandable to the interested graduate student. (MN)

This description of a graduate applied mathematics program developed at Hunter College is for students with a liberal-arts background and is suitable to the economic and geographical location of New York City. The components of the program and its success are reported. (Author/MP)

Details of a course on mathematical modeling for graduate teachers of mathematics are presented. The rationale, objectives, course content, assessment methods are discussed along with several illustrative examples and difficulties encountered in finding appropriate problems. (MP)

The need for a program offering an advanced degree for teaching mathematics at the college level is discussed. The course of study for a program leading to a Doctor of Arts degree is described. (DT)
